CG Industrial Specialties Ltd. (CGIS) is awarded the largest single order in our history from a world class nickel producing consortium for a massive project in Africa. CGIS’ proven success in some of the toughest applications in the world in similar processes was a key element of the order. Several hundred Delta guided shear gate valves, from 6” through 40”, in Duplex and Hastelloy will be automated in our Edmonton facility using StoneL and Numatics switches and pilot solenoids; taking over 3,000 hours to complete.

 

CGIS expands our territory into Russia. This Delta slurry knife gate is the first installation in Russia in the world's largest aluminium company's ferro silicium circuit. Many more will shortly be installed in the largest country in the world throughout it's massive mining industry. CGIS teamed up with a Canadian partner who opened a sales and service centre in Irkutsk, Siberia to service this important sector.

 

CGIS has been awarded a large contract to supply the HPAL Severe Service Check Valves for the four autoclave trains at PNG Ramu Nickel in New Guinea. China ENFI Engineering Corp. wanted the security of using the best check valves on this difficult process and CGIS and Hy-Grade Check Valves' experience in existing nickel laterite plants provided this. The supply includes 10" Class 900 Titanium Grade 12 as well as duplex and other alloy valves. Delivery is important and CGIS and Hy-Grade will meet the project's needs.

 

CGIS is now an official Master Distributor for Bernard Electric Actuators.

 

CGIS is excited to announce Delta Industrial Valves knife gate valve has been added to Syncrude Canada Ltd.'s L-37 Specification. Congratulations to the Delta and CGIS teams on reaching this significant milestone!

 

Congratulations to our Edmonton office who moved into their new 17,000 square foot facility this month! This expansion will allow us to meet the growing requirements of our partners and clients in Alberta, Western Canada and around the world. Our Service Centre will be enhanced through the addition of a Pressure Test Stand capable of handling valves up to 48" diameter. The additional space has been designed to accommodate new equipment as demand grows. In addition to increased office, warehouse and Service Centre space, we have included a Training Centre where we will be offering product service, BUS networking and various other courses. Contact us to learn more about the new facility and services we can offer.

Look for more exciting news about the OPEN HOUSE coming soon.

CGIS received order for 25% chrome duplex Delta guided shear gate valves for the CCD circuit at Murrin Murrin, Western Australia. This order was the result of several years of study and then collaboration of Murrin Murrin, our Australian partner Flotech Controls and CGIS. CGIS studied the failure mechanisms since start-up in 1997 and recommended the Delta Series 150 with certain features that ensures the guided shear gate valve will perform as expected and required. A test after one year clearly demonstrated the valve's performance abilities and the three parties committed to local inventory to change out the numerous underperforming installed knife gate valves.

 

CGIS receives a significant order for over one hundred large diameter Adams Triple Offset Metal Seated Rotary Tight Shut-Off Valves (RTSOV) from a pipeline company for one of their tank farms in Alberta. These valves, ranging in size from 20" through 48" Class 150, are a significant departure from the valves used in the services before: wedge gates. The Client has recognized that wedge gate valves cannot offer the performance of a RTSOV and is far less capable of accepting automation.
